31 Qualitative Research Findings Interviews Focus Groups
32 What should we call it? Compulsive gambling Gambling addiction Weak willed gambling Treatable addiction Problem gambling Moral weakness Lifestyle choice
33 What terms describe the condition? Compulsive gambling Gambling addiction Weak willed gambling Treatable addiction Problem gambling Moral weakness Lifestyle choice
34 What is the best term? Compulsive gambling Gambling addiction Weak willed gambling Treatable addiction Problem gambling Moral weakness Lifestyle choice
35 Compulsive gambling is not serious, and it s a lifestyle choice. It s like going to the bar and enjoying pulltabs and beers several times a week. It becomes a problem when the player has to hit the ATM too often.
36
37 Consensus opinion Starts as a lifestyle choice Becomes uncontrollable due to financial losses or pleasure of win Ultimately becomes an addiction This addiction is treatable
38 Key Findings Opinions are poorly formed and weakly held (mostly) Problem gambling is accepted as a serious issue But it is often seen as a moral weakness It is commonly stigmatized It happens to other people The public is skeptical about treatment effectiveness
39 Key messages Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age or social/ethnic class Problem gambling is not a moral weakness. It is a medical condition. Problem gambling is preventable Treatment is available Treatment works

55 Key messages 1. Gambling addiction is a serious problem with serious consequences. Thousands of people suffer from this addiction, which can lead to devastating financial problems, neglect of family and work, criminal activity, and even suicide. Many more suffer as the result of the gambling of a loved one. 2. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and services are available in your community. While recovery takes time, patience, and support, people suffering from this condition are able to reclaim their lives. 3. Problem gamblers are young, old, male, female, rich, poor and come from every ethnic background. They are not simply morally weak, and are not bad people. They are good people with a bad problem. 4. Breaking the cycle of gambling addiction is critical to a healthy society. It is far less costly for society to treat gambling addictions than to deal with the consequences of leaving the addiction untreated.
